1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet
Re: 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet
Whatever it takes to get the mojo going, do it! I've been in that position for a long time and still trying to get FULLY into building again. It's hard.

Re: 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet
Yeah, with all the stuff that's happened this year, it's taken the wind out of my sails so to speak. I have a lot of builds started that I need to finish. But exhaustion from work isn't helping. Good news is that I'll be quitting the second job and picking up a few more shifts on the ambulance. It'll be better for my body (I'm no spring chicken anymore), my bank account (not that I'm broke by any means), and it'll actually give me more days off.

Working on part of the intakes. These are going to take a lot of time cleaning up. At least the ejector pin marks won't be seen.

Test fit, test fit, and test fit some more!! I was hoping to leave the tails off till the end but that's not going to happen. the nose comes in four parts that will take some work to get it to fit correctly to itself and the fuselage.

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet
Wow, that would really bug me too! 
Man, you got this.
That is one of the reasons I rarely do any more Hornets. I've never found a kit that didn't have all manner of fit issues that were so difficult to clear up. At least I do have a Canadian one and Australian one and several US Navy ones done so far.
